उत्तर

No. Electromagnets can only attract magnetic materials. A plastic bag is a non-magnetic material and will not be attracted by an electromagnet. Hence, an electromagnet cannot be used to separate plastic bags from a garbage heap.

Fill in the following blank with suitable words: 

The magnetic effect of a coil can be increased by increasing the number of ........... increasing the ........... or inserting an ........... core.


For the coil in the diagram below, when the switch is pressed:

(a) what is the polarity of end A?
(b) which way will the compass point then?    


When the switch S is closed in the figure given below, the pointer of the galvanometer moves to the right.  

 

If S is kept closed, will the pointer:

(a) return to zero?
(b) stay over on the right?
(c) move to the left and stay there
(d) move to and fro until S is opened


A coil is connected to a galvanometer. When the N-pole of magnet is pushed into the coil, the galvanometer deflected to the right. What deflection, if any, is observed when: 

the magnet is a rest in the coil? 


What is the function of a split ring in an electric motor?


Read the given passage and answer the following questions:

The home electrical connection consists of ‘live’, ‘neutral’ and ‘earth’ wires. The ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires have potential difference of 220 V. The ‘earth’ is connected to ground. Due to a fault in the equipment or if the plastic coating on the ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires gives a way the two wires come in contact with each other and a large current flows through it producing heat. If any inflammable material (such as wood, cloth, plastic, etc.) exists around that place it can catch fire. Therefore a fuse wire is used as a precautionary measure.

  1. Name the two wires having potential difference of 220 V.
  2. What is a short circuit?
  3. Write the function of a fuse.

Name any two appliances which works on the phenomenon of magnetic effect of electric current.


Unscramble the following words:

HTRCO


The figure given below shows the magnetic field around the conductor. Study it and answer the questions:

  1. What changes are caused by increasing current?
  2. What do you see when the magnetic needle is kept a little away from the wire?
  3. In the second part of the figure, the iron filings arrange themselves in a circular manner around the wire. Why does this happen?

As shown in the diagram an aluminium rod 'AB' is suspended horizontally between the two poles of a strong horse shoe magnet in such a way that the axis of rod is horizontal and the direction of the magnetic field is vertically upward. The rod is connected in series with a battery and a key.

State giving reason:

  1. What is observed when a current is passed through the aluminium rod from end B to end A?
  2. What change is observed in a situation in which the axis of the rod 'AB' is moved and aligned parallel to the magnetic field and current is passed in the rod in the same direction?
